IMPROVEMENT IN CULlNARV VESSELS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,354, dated June 27, 1876; application filed May 4,1876.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, FRIDOLIN SOHIFFERLE, of the city of St. Louis, in the county of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have made certain Improvements in Culinary Vessels, of which the following is a specification:

The object of this invention is to produce a cheap, safe, and convenient vessel for common use in cooking; and it consists in the combination of a cheap earthenware vessel with surrounding bands at top and bottom, with a handle or hail attached thereto.

In the drawing, A represents the earthen vessel, of any known kinds, or of any convenient form or shape in use. B is a metal band, fitted to the bottom part of the vessel, and turns underneath the bottom, in such .manner that it shall embrace both the sides of the dish, as well as the bottom, at-its outer edge. 0 is a wire or narrow metal band, passing around the upper part of the vessel. D is a handle, of any convenient form, riveted at its lower end to the band B at d, and at its upper end is either riveted to a band at the upper edge of the vessel, at c,- or, if a wire is used instead of a band, the wire will com menee at the bottom end of the handle, at each edge, over which the sheet metal is turned to form the usual wire-bound edge, and extend to the upper part of the handle, when it will separate, and go around opposite sides of the vessel until the ends meet, when they are secured firmly together to hold the vessel tight in its embrace.

A vessel of this kind, protected from being broken by the use of the band or bands around it, will not be broken by hard usage or rough handling; or, if it should, by accident, be

broken, the parts could be easily replaced in their normal position, and so held while they are cemented together, when the dish is good as new, and, with the handle, forms a conven- FRIDOLIN SCHIFFERLE.
